Sharing is such a difficult concept for toddlers to grasp. Grace really struggles. However she is a little more cunning than I had given her credit for!
During lunch today I caught her allowing Winston to lick her soup spoon. Whilst sternly explaining that this is not acceptable, I was cut short with a reply that I simply could not argue with - "Mummy, but I was sharing with Winston. You told me off for not sharing with Lara this morning. I'm sharing now!"
Our daughters grasp of the english language is also another source of much hilarity. From the teen slang phrases to the classics that would be more likely to effortlessly float from my mother's mouth, we never quite know what she will say next. Here are some of our favourites:
● All good in the hood
● What you doing boy
● Quick sharp
● It'll be done in no time, I'm an expert
● I'm having a freak out (reserved for when she sees dogs or ducks)
● Good driving mate
● What a lovely day for a drive
Appointment update
I don't know how, but in the space of a week we've had 3 appointments come through for G. I'm sure we weren't due any until at least December! Gastro and the dietician are due in my half term, and I need to arrange ENT. Ear Nose and Throat is actually one that I am keen to attend this time round as I'm sure G is suffering from sleep apnoea. Apparently the first port of call is ENT, and sleep studies (of which we have been referred to anyway). Given our consultant's enthusiasm to discharge us, this development will be most unwelcome.
We've recently had a weekend away by the sea, which G adored. Caravans are the best thing ever, as are life-sized fluffy animal characters (so long as they are at least 1metre away). And don't get me started on her arcade obsession! She's also developed a passion for swimming, which at one point was a phobia of hers. We will be taking full advantage of this on a weekly basis by getting her used to our local pool. Let's hope her ears play ball!
Next update-post conference!!
